Christopher Short but epic at the same time once it begins hooks you all the way through. Very different to what I'm used to hearing these days. I like that it envelops you in a story about a hard life and facing demons till the final song, this is produced really well alongside excellent musicianship makes for a perfect 10 out of 10. Favorite track: Irreversible.

Arrogant Bastard After the EP Shrine of the Obscene ravaged my conscience I made the rookie mistake of forgetting to check the discography. While I'm pained to find only one EP, I'm still nonetheless enthralled with the brutally melodic assault and pleasantly surprised at the quality of their debut. Favorite track: Irreversible.

Jacob McNary Recently stumbled upon this band and I'm glad I did because they're amazing. Technical, tight, aggressive, I love it. Fans of speed and death metal need to hear this! Hopefully they will be around for a while!

Poesy Rider Si je devais répondre à la grande enquête de l'INSEE ; à la question Comment rebaptiseriez-vous The odious construct, je crois que, comme 64,5 % de personnes interrogées, je répondrais : Fleshgod of Bodom. Et je ferais partie des 85 % qui attendent le prochain album avec curiosité... Favorite track: Flatline.

Paroxysm 03:23
Woven deep within my subconscious silently it waits, this shape shifting shadow of dark energy is always ready for the match to strike to ignite and invade, taking over me at the meer sight of... The fuse has been lit, the trigger sparked Spectral convulsions in the dark The viciousness spreading like a venom through my veins internal paroxysms make me.. ..Hallucinate violent reactions these self depraving, nightmarish visions in me, Epileptic spasms in my minds eye and screaming silently. This blade cuts deeper into the primal urge from life I diverge I'm escaping you. Repulsive flashing images of destruction split second frames before my eyes Hands to my face, seizing, cold fingers aching to expel these illusions I fantasize. Exit the realm of reality compulsion towards self destruction, and entropy. Image ignites combustion of the fire inside Dark empty skies deeper I slice cut you out. I visualize cutting out the darkness within me because the violence, it levels out the intensity. These internal paroxysms plague my waking life triggered by images that reflect the self-hatred inside that I have kept buried.

Irreversible 04:18
Living life according to my selfish desires, playing with fire. Trampling on the weak who cannot stand up to my strength. What I want, get out of my way, I won't hesitate to annihilate you. Untouchable, my power is bigger than you, better than you. Blinded by the image of self. Never imagined the horror I felt. Looking back on this, what was it I missed? How could I be so thoughtless? The pain I have caused, the lives I've destroyed; the destruction of myself. This ignorance, your pain is my bliss, I've used you for my benefit. Said and done, I've destroyed the only thing in life you love. Swat the fly on my shoulder, I've ignored that I caused you pain. This mistake, careless on my behalf, made you retaliate. As I fell asleep I felt the haunting sense of nightmares that lingered in the dense air, though irrational it seemed. I awoke in confinement, my fate sealed within these walls that imprisoned me. Fifteen years alone, with nothing but this TV screen for comfort. Futile plans to escape (they wont let me escape) Someone will fucking pay. Finally I am released, waking that strange morning in a field. Whoever's responsible will suffer my retribution, my fury. Never could I have known, the horror that had yet to be shown, I could have never perceived this putrid reality. Now it all made sense to me. What the fuck have I done? You have entrapped me into doing the unspeakable. My life is ruined, the damage is done, it's irreversible. ...Irreversible.

Flatline 05:45
Once again I've sunken into this realm, a dull apathy, so familiar, so real. A mindset that musters emotions lackluster, this false reality of faded colors. Empty thoughts, my soul that rots alone. Sinking down, my dreams that drown in cold. An icy tomb a harsh defeat. Looking up, I see only how far I've sunk. I can go no lower. Looking down in horror, cavernous explorer non-consensual relentless endeavor. My heart beating slower. Give me a reason why I should stay here? my body's too tired to feel hate or fear. No motivation to alleviate (this) suffocating emptiness and lethargy. Shutting down, checking out. This is my flatline. I am exhausted, weathered and weakened. I am exhausted, I'm ready to sleep. Finally serenity drifting off to sleep please take my hand and guide me gently Please don't let me wake from this peace I have earned this peace I deserve. I don't want to wake from this place of comfort away from the hurt. Shutting down Checking out This is my flatline.
